Redmatch 2 News

[h3]Update 1.31[/h3]

This update features a brand new game mode: Infection! After 20 seconds, 12% of players in the match will get infected. The Infected players get a instakill knife and grapple gear. When a Survivor gets killed, they become Infected. Infect everyone to win as an Infected, or survive until the time runs out to win as a Survivor!

Update 1.30

A lot of the achievements had requirements which were almost impossible to get in Redmatch 2 today, like winning a match without getting hit. In this update I reworked some old achievements to make them possible, and added some new ones to earn. If you have any issues earning achievements please send a message to the #bug-reports channel on our Discord server!

Changes

• Reduced the required distance for the 1 in 7.5 Trillion achievement from 75 to 50
  
• Changed the Camper achievement from "Win a match without moving" to "Kill a player without moving for 10 seconds"
  
• Changed the Jack of All Trades achievement from "Get a kill with the sniper, rifle, and shotgun in one match" to "Get a kill with all weapons in one match"
  
• Changed the World Trip achievement from "Win on each map" to "Get a kill on each map"
  
• Changed the Untouchable achievement from "Win a match without getting hit" to "Get 5 kills without getting hit"
  
• Completing a time trial will now send a chat message to all players
  

Bugfixes

• You can no longer grapple around and have the Camper achievement still count
  
• Potentially fixed a long-standing issue where time trial ghosts would not appear (Players will need to get a new highscore on the time trail to update their ghost. I'm thinking about reworking time trial ghosts in the future)
  

New Achievements

• The Beginning: Reach level 10
  
• Dedication: Reach level 50
  
• Death Wish: Equip a death
  
• Never Dig Straight Down: Die to the void with the Pixel death equipped
  
• Shake it Up a Little: Use a Resource Pack
  
• Speed Demon: Get gold rank on all time trials
  
• Better than Rugbug: Get platinum rank on a time trial
  
• Take Me With You: Grapple onto another player
  
• It Takes Two To Tango: Get a kill while standing on a teammate's head
  
• Uppercut: Get 50 melee kills
  
• Fighting Blind: Get 50 noscopes
  
• Combined Effort: Win a match of Team Deathmatch
  
• The Real Me: Create a custom skin
  
• Sharpshooter: Hit 6 sniper shots in a row without dying
